Pyeongchon Namsan, also known as Moyadong North Mountain, is located on the north bank of Imjin River, 5 kilometers due north of Golangpo-ri. It is an important support point of the 1st Marine Division on the defensive front.

It protrudes from a place on the enemy's defense line and penetrates our army's forward position. It faces the 169 Highlands defended by the 1st Battalion of the 357th Regiment to the north, and is connected to the 163.3 Highlands guarded by the 3rd Battalion of the 357th Regiment to the west. The terrain is dangerous and the mountains are stacked. rise.

There are four hills in the south mountain of Ping Village, which are connected vertically and horizontally in a cross shape. The main peak in the center is numbered by our army as Highland 161, the hill to the west is Highland 163 to the east, the extending hill is Highland 164, and the mountain ridge to the south is Highland 165.

To defend the enemy in Nanshan of Ping Village, the 3rd Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment, 1st Marine Division strengthened a firearms platoon. They built 61 large and small bunkers, 18 concealment units, and erected multiple barbed wire fences, connected with trenches and traffic ditches, forming a A solid ring defense system was established.

After the US military launched "Operation Showdown", the headquarters of the Volunteer Army asked all troops to continue tactical counterattacks to contain the enemy and support each other.

The leaders of the 40th Army and the division decided to use the 357th Regiment of the 119th Division to counterattack the 1st US Marine Division defending Pingcun Nanshan.

After receiving the mission, the 357th Regiment held four consecutive enlarged party committee meetings and decided to follow the plan and deployment envisioned by the regiment leader Zhu Yurong to attack the 161 Highlands where the US military had been entrenched for a long time, and induce the enemy to counterattack, causing a large number of casualties.

Highland 130 near Nanshan in Ping Village was once conquered by our army, but the US military reoccupied it with two platoons from the 9th Company of the 7th Marine Regiment. They repaired the fortifications by surprise, strengthened the firepower, and formed an independent and prominent ring defense. position.

In the valley connected by the two circular positions of Highland 161 and Highland 130, they also built a large reinforced concrete bunker equipped with powerful firepower such as light and heavy machine guns and 90 rocket launchers to control the intersecting valleys and prevent our troops from crossing penetration.

On the west side of Highland 161, there is an unknown small highland in the shape of a tomb. The US military also built a bunker and deployed a squad of troops as a flank guard position.

This is a core position that the US military has operated for many years. Relying on solid fortifications and powerful firepower, they think their defense line is an impenetrable iron wall.

The 119th Division attaches great importance to the counterattack of the 357th Regiment. The division commander Xu Guofu has been promoted to the deputy commander of the 40th Army. The political commissar Liu Guangtao has also been promoted to the director of the Army Political Department. Deputy division commander Mao Shichang, who had returned from studying , jointly formed the division's forward command post and moved forward to the command post of the 357th regiment to directly command the battle.

The 119th Division concentrated 286 artillery pieces to support the 357th Regiment in this battle, and assigned three tanks to a tank platoon in the division, all of which were assigned to them as supporting firepower.

Wang Dongbao, deputy commander of the 41st Army, and Zhong Mingfeng, commander of the Hainan Military Division, who were studying at the military academy, all came to Pingcun Nanshan for internship. They discussed some military academic issues regarding the battle in Pingcun Nanshan.

Deputy Commander Wang Dongbao proposed that if the US military relies on their superior equipment to prepare for counter-artillery fire before our army's artillery fire preparations, what are we going to do?

Deputy Commander Xia Ke felt that this was a problem that had not been well considered in advance, so he called the military to ask for instructions on what to do. Deputy Commander Deng Yue answered simply. He didn't need to think too much. He felt that if he was seven to eight percent sure, he would fight resolutely.

Regarding the use of tanks, some people advocate giving full play to the tank's protective capabilities and maneuverability, and using it to bypass the side and rear to attack enemy positions. However, considering the complex terrain and unfamiliar roads, Shake still placed the tanks in the forward position. It was more advantageous to directly aim and shoot at the enemy fortifications, because the tanks could point and hit anywhere within 2,000 meters.

Regarding infantry and artillery coordination and the formation of assault troops, both Xia Ke and Mao Shichang gave many ideas to the 357th Regiment.

Zhu Yurong, commander of the 357th Regiment, required the troops to further strengthen combat preparations according to the instructions of the military division chief.

1 Battalion Commander Luo Yincheng and 3rd Battalion Commander Zhuang Shenju led the cadres and backbone of the assault company almost every day and night to get behind the enemy lines to survey the enemy's situation and become familiar with the terrain.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, they sent troops to select 4 latent areas on the front and flanks of the US military, and secretly excavated troop garrison holes. Even the excavated soil was transported back. In only 8 days, they were dug out. 89 garrison and artillery defense holes.

At the same time, the troops responsible for assault missions conducted latent education and training, and solved a series of problems such as secret entry, disguise, eating, resting, and defecation. The

assault company carried out repeated and in-depth combat mobilization, and organized personnel above the combat team leader to conduct close reconnaissance and latent observation in batches. Based on the terrain and enemy situation learned through the reconnaissance, sand table operations and simulation training were conducted.

Regiment commander Zhu Yurong and artillery regiment commander Li Rufu studied many times and coordinated the combat plan. The infantry and artillery formed a joint command, established a main observation post and a side observation post, and determined that communication mainly relied on wired telephone , secondly, radio must communicate at any time, and then various simple and easy signals must be used at the same time.

In order to completely destroy the US military fortifications, the 3rd Company of the Division Artillery Regiment sent a mountain cannon to the forward position, built a firing position, and directly aimed and fired at the enemy bunker in advance.

On October 23, the mountain artillery quietly entered the position and aimed at a bunker under Hill 164. That bunker was the enemy's position broadcast station. The commander of the 3rd company of the artillery regiment gave an order and silenced the enemy's broadcast with one shell. , and then continued to aim and shoot, destroying 4 enemy bunkers with 15 rounds of artillery shells.

After the enemy discovered the target, they retaliated crazily. Within three days, they fired more than 700 artillery shells at our artillery position. The position was collapsed five times. The artillery moved the artillery to new positions and braved the enemy's artillery fire to attack. The last target planned was destroyed - the bunker in the ravine.

On October 26, the 9th Company, the 1st Company, and the 2nd Company set out from Highland 163.3, Highland 169, and the Unnamed Highland in the southeast respectively, and secretly entered the latent area, quietly hiding and waiting.

At 17:17 on October 26, three T-34 tanks attached to the 357th Regiment drove to the front and carried out direct-aimed destructive fire on the enemy fortifications on Highland 161. At the same time, the 4th Squadron of the 8th Company carried out a mortar attack on . Under the cover of artillery fire, Hill 140 first attacked the U.S. flank guard position near Hill 161, the Unnamed Hill. The enemy counterattacked with fire, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader were injured successively. Soldiers Yu Yangtze automatically took command of the squad leader, and they approached in less than 5 minutes. In the bunker, two American soldiers who were trying to escape were knocked down by Yu Changjiang's bullets. Then, he blocked the bunker and shouted. The last American soldier inside trembled and raised his hands and walked out, clearing the outer position.

17:45, our army's 86 cannons roared and began suppressing fire on 130 Highlands and 161 Highlands and the artillery group.

At this time, the US military discovered that our army had begun to attack Highland 161 and immediately concentrated artillery fire to block the fire. Bullets rained down on the front of our army's position. However, our assault troops had already crossed this artillery fire blockade and were hiding at the front of the enemy's position. , waiting to launch an impact.

Our army's artillery fire launched a sudden attack on the two highlands 130 and 161 at the same time, but they did not extend at the same time.

The rapid attack on Hill 130 only lasted 5 minutes, and the sudden attack on Hill 161 took 12 minutes. Therefore, the 2nd Company first took advantage of the remaining power of the artillery fire to attack Hill 130 from the east and west directions, and captured the US forward position in only 10 minutes. , however, the 1st Platoon and the 10th Platoon of the 3rd Platoon attacking the main peak were blocked by the firepower of the enemy bunker and were not allowed to advance.

The company commander ordered the demolition team to blast from the front. Five times in a row, they failed to get close to the enemy bunker. As a last resort, they used rocket launchers and heavy machine guns to cover the 2nd squad's deputy squad leader Yang Deqian, who led three new soldiers to attack from the enemy's rear.

Yang Deqian took the explosive pack and led the soldier Sun Xianxing to crawl forward. He rolled three times in a row, but encountered a tight blockade by the enemy. His left hand was injured, but he still desperate, climbed to the back of the hillside to observe the terrain and optimistic about the route forward.

At this time, Squad 4 also came up, and the company commander ordered the squad leaders Liu Guanglu and Yang Deqian of Squad 4 to carry out the blasting mission together.

Yang Dexian, Liu Guanglu, and new soldier Xu Baoshan formed a demolition team and searched along a traffic trench in the southwest of the bunker. Not far away, they found two cat-ear holes shooting from the inside. Liu Guanglu threw two grenades casually. After failing, there were still bullets shot out. Yang Deqian picked up a blasting tube and threw it. With a loud bang, all five US troops inside were wiped out.

At this time, the machine gun in the bunker was sealed even tighter. Yang Deqian took the lead regardless of everything and suddenly fired another shot. He looked up and saw that there was a small bunker ahead. At this time, Liu Guanglu also Discovered, so he used fire cover. Yang Deqian stepped up, stuffed a grenade into the bunker, and then shouted in English, which frightened an American soldier to crawl out tremblingly and raise his hands to surrender.

Yang Deqian continued to move forward. Suddenly, a grenade was thrown over, and other firepower was fired at the same time. He threw two grenades and then shouted in English: "Send your gun and don't kill, give preferential treatment to the prisoners."

His English was jerky and difficult to understand, but the effect was unexpected. 11 US troops raised their hands and surrendered, and the bunker was solved. Then, they conquered 8 bunkers in a row and captured 22 enemies.

The battle was extended to 1:00 on the 27th. The 2nd company completely wiped out the enemy and captured the 130th highland.

At the same time, with the support of our strong artillery fire, the 1st and 9th companies launched an attack on Highland 161 with multiple arrows from the northwest sides, breaking through the enemy's forward position in only 3 minutes. At this time, the regiment command post ordered each company, as a squad unit, to boldly intersect and divide, disrupt the US military's defense system, and then annihilate the enemy one by one. The 2nd platoon of the

1 company conquered three bunkers from the north and quickly inserted into the side of Hill 164, cutting off the escape route to the nearby Hill 127. However, the platoon's 8th squadron was blocked by fire from the bunker, and they blasted 3 bunkers in a row. Each time without success.

At this time, Xu Changyou, deputy squad leader of Class 7, led Team 3 of Class 7 to perform the task of destroying the enemy's barbed wire fence. They had just cut the barbed wire fence when a shell exploded near him, and the shrapnel penetrated his spine, causing him immediate pain. But Xu Changyou didn't bother to bandage, got up from the ground, gritted his teeth, followed the troops, and rushed up the mountain more than 100 meters high.

At this time, the platoon leader ordered Squad 7 to develop in depth. Xu Changyou ignored the pain and continued to search and advance, and laid down two more bunkers. However, the bullets fired by the US military penetrated Xu Changyou's right arm again, and the continuous injuries made his eyes black. , almost collapsed, cold sweat also flowed down his face.

When the health workers arrived, they saw that he was seriously injured and advised him to go down and rest. Xu Changyou refused the advice and led soldiers Li Xiaoyi and Pan Guangxuan to rush towards the central bunker.

The central bunker is the last bunker in the US military bunker group. There is a squad of enemies inside who are desperately blocking the path forward of our main attack force with light and heavy machine guns. There were three comrades in class

8 who blasted several times without success. Xu Changyou was so anxious that he ignored the pain of the wound, gritted his teeth, picked up a blasting tube and rushed forward. After a loud "bang", the bunker was still empty. After being completely blown up, he struggled to crawl back and reported to the squad leader, "Give me two packs of explosives!" As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted in the traffic ditch.

The battle reached a difficult stage. The enemy relied on their strong bunkers to resist desperately. Our main attacking troops were all blocked on the mountainside. After Xu Changyou slowly came to his senses, he said to the platoon leader without hesitation: "Give me the explosives and I will ensure the completion." Mission."

When the platoon leader was hesitating, he grabbed the explosives without saying a word, put them under his arm, leaned sideways and supported the ground with his injured right hand, climbed towards the bunker step by step, and loaded 1.5 kilograms of explosives into the bunker twice. Sent to the top of the bunker.

Xu Changyou lit the fuse, rolled violently, and fell into a nearby traffic ditch. Then there was a loud crash of landslides and ground cracking. All a squad of US troops were wiped out in the bunker. The main attack force followed the passage that Xu Changyou exploded smoothly. Highland 161 was occupied. In just 8 minutes, the 3rd platoon of the

1 company broke through the US forward position, reached the designated position, and continued to attack in the direction planned by the 9th company. They successively laid down 2 bunkers and 3 hidden positions, and joined the 3rd platoon of the 9th company to capture them in one fell swoop. 163 highlands.The 2nd platoon of the

9 company penetrated into the 165th highland, wiped out half of the enemy squad and captured the highland. Immediately afterwards, they repelled five enemy counterattacks of 1 squad to 1 company, killing a large number of enemies, but I had no casualties.

After two hours of fighting, the 357th Regiment captured the highlands of Nanshan Mountain in Pingcun and wiped out two enemy companies. Then, the 1st and 9th companies used part of their forces to repair the fortifications and prepare to resist the enemy's counterattack, while the main force quickly cleaned the battlefield and gradually withdrew.

27 At 1:00, the 2nd Platoon of the 8th Company, led by deputy company commander Zhi Quansheng, entered the position to organize defense.

On the main peak, deputy company commander Zhi Quansheng carefully observed the terrain, and arranged for 2nd Platoon Leader Han Facheng to lead two groups of 8th Squadron and a machine gun to guard the 146 Highlands more than 150 meters in front of the right, and asked 8th Squadron Leader Dong Chaochang to lead another group. The combat team will hold on to Highland 165, 300 meters away on the right wing. You will take your team to defend there.

After each class arrived at the designated location, they quickly repaired the fortifications.

Afterwards, he ignored the enemy's artillery blockade and went to every corner of each position to observe the terrain and inspect the construction of fortifications. Returning to the main peak, he convened a meeting of the squad leader of the 7th squad and the deputy squad leader of the 5th squad to mobilize and prepare for a vicious and tough battle. Destroy your enemies ruthlessly.

At dawn on the second day, the enemy launched a fierce attack with the cooperation of heavy artillery and tanks. Various artillery poured tons of steel on the 8th company position.

The earth was shaking, trees and rocks were blown everywhere, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun.

Machine gun shooter Zhou Lasheng heard the explosion of grenades from down the mountain. He looked over and saw three American soldiers running on the road on the right. He set up the machine gun, aimed steadily, and knocked them down with three bursts of fire.

At this time, a squad of US troops attacked. Correspondent Du Fangting threw a blasting tube and, with the cooperation of his comrades, drove the enemy back. Immediately after another enemy squad came up, Deputy Company Commander Zhi Quansheng also picked up a blasting tube and threw it at the enemy group. The enemy was killed and more than half injured. He used grenades to blow down several more in succession. Defeated the enemy's continuous counterattacks.

After that, the enemy stopped attacking and started firing artillery intermittently for half an hour.

Then, the 164th Highland guarded by 2nd Platoon Leader Han Facheng started. Zhou Lasheng carefully observed the terrain and found that all enemies attacking 164th Highland had to pass near 161 Highland, so he set up his machine gun on the edge of the traffic ditch to provide support. The battle on Highland 164 was like this. Every time the enemy attacked, several of them had to be knocked down by Zhou Lasheng.

8 Company defeated the enemy's 8 or 9 charges in a row. There were only 5 people left on the 161 main position and the ammunition was about to be used up. While Zhi Quan Sheng reminded everyone to save ammunition and resolutely hold their positions, he also used the gaps in the battle to search for ammunition and deliver it to the soldiers.

The situation became increasingly critical. A bullet pierced Zhi Quan Sheng's left leg. He simply bandaged it and continued to direct the battle. At the same time, he placed a blasting barrel under his body and prepared for the worst.

The attack was unsuccessful, and the 1st Marine Division began to use long-range artillery fire to retaliate. Subsequently, dozens of U.S. troops approached Hill 164. Zhou Rasheng rushed to provide support, sweeping out a shuttle of machine gun bullets and knocking down seven or eight enemies.

The two groups of Squad 8 who were holding on to Highland 164 had suffered most casualties after killing a large number of enemies. In the end, only one soldier was left. He picked up the blasting tube and rushed towards the American troops who were coming up. In the smoke of the explosion, the enemy fell down. , our heroes also died gloriously.

After the U.S. Army captured the 8th Squadron and defended the 164th Highland, a commander commanded a heavy machine gun to fire wildly at the main peak. Zhou Lasheng picked up the machine gun and killed the commander, and also silenced the machine gun.

Unexpectedly, another enemy climbed up the mountain. Zhou Lasheng picked up his machine gun and fired at the enemy. A few rounds of bullets passed by and made the enemy scurry away. He calmly took the grenades and submachine gun to his side, laid out three fire nets, used machine guns from a hundred meters away, submachine guns within a hundred meters, and grenades within 50 meters.

161 The situation on the main peak of the highland became increasingly critical. At this moment, Sun Jingkun, deputy platoon leader of the 1st platoon of the 7th company, brought a stretcher squad to deliver 8 boxes of grenades and two boxes of submachine gun bullets.

Zhiquan was overjoyed with the victory and said to Sun Jingkun: "It's so good of you to come. Now we are short of ammunition and there are not many people on the position. You must join the battle immediately!"

Sun Jingkun immediately replied: "Don't worry, deputy company commander. I promise to obey orders and hold the position resolutely!"

He immediately arranged the nine soldiers of the stretcher squad, opened the grenade box, and repelled three counterattacks by the two US military squads.

The enemy was so angry that he organized a commando team of more than 30 people and began the fourth counterattack.

The battle became more intense and tense. Two enemies came around Sun Jingkun from the side. The distance was only 3 meters. The situation was extremely dangerous. Sun Jingkun was not afraid of danger and calmly fired the water rifle, knocking them down with two shots.

At this time, two more enemies climbed up from the traffic ditch on the left. The enemy walking in front was holding a machine gun. Sun Jinghui shifted the muzzle of the gun, pulled the trigger, and killed the enemy with a bang.

The U.S. troops attacking from the front saw that the side attack failed, and fled in panic. Sun Jingkun shot one at a time, and 21 U.S. troops were killed in succession by his gunfire.

Suddenly, an artillery shell came over and broke the right leg of deputy company commander Zhi Quansheng. He immediately fell into coma. In view of this situation, the division commanders at both levels ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions.

This battle has achieved outstanding results and has great influence. Xinhua News Agency wrote an article and broadcast it to China and foreign countries.

The 357th Regiment's attack on Pingcun Nanshan was successfully completed, wiping out a total of 905 enemies, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy and taking the initiative on the battlefield.

Next, on November 1st and 4th, the 357th Regiment Reconnaissance Platoon and two squads from the 4th Company attacked the unnamed highland south of the 161 Hill, wiping out three enemy squads and capturing one enemy. After interrogation, it was discovered that this The prisoners were not Americans, but British.

It turns out that the 7th Regiment of the 1st U.S. Marine Division was attacked by us and suffered heavy casualties. The Black Guards Regiment of the 26th Brigade of the Commonwealth has taken over the defense.

The Black Guards were originally part of the Scottish Highland Brigade stationed in Federal Germany. In April this year, they were transferred back to the UK. In June, they came to North Korea to replace them. They have suffered many heavy blows, including the defeat of the British Leicester Regiment. .

Hearing this situation, Zhu Yurong, the leader of the 357th Regiment, became excited again.

He believed that the Black Guards had just arrived, lacking experience and had just taken over the defensive positions of the United States. The situation was unfamiliar and their foothold was not yet stable. However, our army had won consecutive battles and had high morale. We should seize the opportunity and strike while the iron is hot. , hit Pingcun Nanshan again.

The army and division chiefs appreciated Captain Zhu Yurong's idea of ​​actively seeking war and immediately approved the 357th Regiment to attack Pingcun Nanshan again.

After arriving at the position for close observation and exploring the position at night, they discovered that after the British army entered the position, they only repaired and strengthened the fortifications to defend the position. Our army's invisible guns and artillery during the day and the frequent attacks of small troops at night trapped the British army. They didn't dare to come out and move around at all in the camp. Therefore, the hidden troop garrison holes previously dug by our army have neither been discovered nor destroyed. They are intact and can continue to be used.

Therefore, there is no need to make major changes to the battle plan. Basically, it is still the same as before, with a few improvements and additions. All attack preparations are done with ease.

On Hill 161, the British army's rest and recuperation offensive basically remained the same, but the position on Hill 130 was specially strengthened. Bunker No. 9 in the valley on the left rear was the one that was hit by the mountain artillery approach in the first attack on Pingcun Nanshan. Crippled but missed the point. In the

bunker, there is a reinforced squad of the British army, equipped with 5 or 6 light and heavy machine guns, controlling the only way for our army to penetrate and engage with the enemy.

This time, the regiment leader Zhu Yurong asked the artillery to knock down the bunker in advance, and the task was assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 9th Company, 42nd Artillery Regiment.

On the afternoon of November 14, it started to rain, and an order came from the command post to knock down bunker No. 9.At 7 p.m., the 3rd Squadron of the 9th Company moved the artillery to the forward firing position under the cover of darkness. After accepting the mission, the

3 class studied the reasons why they failed to hit vital points in the past. They decided to hit the front of the bunker this time, reduce the trajectory, aim directly, reduce dispersion, and align the position, command post and target in a straight line to facilitate the control of the design effect.

html At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 15th, Class 3 loaded the ammunition and aimed the muzzle at bunker No. 9. After three rounds of shooting, the bunker was flattened.

At 8 pm on November 18, the battle to attack Nanshan in Pingcun began again.

Our army's artillery roared in unison again, violently destroying and suppressing the bunkers, barbed wire fences and minefields in Nanshan, Pingcun.

The 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion and the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 357th Regiment, with the support of artillery fire, launched an attack on the Nanshan Mountain of Pingcun from the northeast and southwest.

As soon as our army's artillery fire extended, the 3rd and 7th companies broke through the enemy's barbed wire fence from the south and north sides, and quickly inserted the two pincer-shaped arrows into the depth of the enemy. The three platoons of the 7th company on the south side of

advanced in three directions. Comrade Bi Guodong, the acting platoon commander of the 1st platoon, commanded the 3rd squadron to clear the remaining bunkers and hidden areas on the right wing, and ordered the light machine guns to be set up on the harbor leading to Tai Mo Shan . Taking cover, he led the troops to continue charging north, and captured 5 British prisoners in a hidden unit that had half collapsed.

The 2nd platoon attacking from the front was blocked by enemy artillery fire. Duan Yutian, the squad leader of the 6th squad, immediately changed the attack path, avoided the enemy artillery fire, braved the side fire, and attacked forward with all his strength. In one go, he captured 7 bunkers one after another. 43 British troops were eliminated with only one injured, and 3 light machine guns were captured. Soon, the 7th squadron of the company was able to rendezvous on the east side of the main peak. Zhang Xianyu, the squad leader of

4, had just laid down the last bunker when he suddenly fired a shot from the dark side and passed his ear. He jumped forward alertly and took a closer look. It turned out to be a semi-tunnel.

At this time, Wang Dehui, squad leader of the 3rd company and 2nd squad, also rushed to the main peak. The two of them took turns to cover, got into the tunnel, turned the corner, and found more than 10 British soldiers sitting on the ground under the light inside, with their chests trembling with fear. After making the sign of the cross, another British soldier with a gun on guard noticed them and tried to resist with a grenade in his hand. Zhang Xianyu rushed over and shouted in English: "Hand in the gun but not kill, treat the prisoners preferentially!" The British soldier with the gun was restrained. , and tremblingly handed over the weapons in their hands. The other British soldiers raised their heads one by one and kept saying OK.

In this way, the 1st Company of the Black Guards of the 29th Commonwealth Brigade was completely annihilated within one hour.

The enemy is still determined to counterattack when he loses, trying to take advantage of our army's unstable foothold to launch a counterattack.

After a while, a burst of air-exploded artillery shells bloomed and exploded over the position like firecrackers. Shrapnel roared down like rain, covering two platoons of British troops rushing up the mountain.

It protrudes from a place on the enemy's defense line and penetrates our army's forward position. It faces the 169 Highlands guarded by the 1st Battalion of the 357th Regiment to the north, and connects to the 163.3 Highlands guarded by the 3rd Battalion of the 357th Regiment to  - DayDayNews

was on the right side of Highland 161 to guard the new soldier Cai Fanji and the machine gun team, who were the first to bear the brunt. At this moment, machine gunner Chen Nan was injured by an air-explosion bomb, leaving Cai Fangji alone at the front of the position.

Cai Fangji was only 17 years old and had joined the army for less than a year. It was his first time on the battlefield. His nervous heart was pounding. He was frightened to stand alone. However, he secretly made up his mind to hold his position and not give up. The enemy is coming up.

Xiao Cai unscrewed the safety pin of the hand grenade and waited until the British army climbed to more than 10 meters in front of the position. A group of British soldiers were still surging upward. Xiao Cai unscrewed the safety pin of the second grenade and threw it out. This group of British soldiers was eliminated by Xiao Cai.

Nervous Xiao Cai heard the sound of digging earth coming from under the ridge in front. He threw three more grenades towards the sound, but there was no more sound from below.

At this time, deputy squad leader Bi Guodong ran over from the right, hugged Cai Fanji and said, "Xiao Cai, you fought so beautifully. You have to clean up all 12 Japanese."

Later, the enemy counterattacked twice, and Xiao Cai used a submachine gun to kill more than 20 British soldiers.

Wang Hui, squad leader of the 2nd squad of the 3rd company guarding the front of the main peak, led the new soldier He Youzhang, and threw 50 grenades and 10 grenades in a row, killing and wounding more than 50 British soldiers.

On the left wing position, the deputy platoon leader of the 3rd platoon of the 3rd company unfortunately died in the fierce battle. Zhang Congxiang, the squad leader of the 9th squadron, stepped forward to take command. He held a light machine gun and fired fiercely, killing more than 10 soldiers. British troops on the top of the mountain. The first wave of enemies was repulsed, and the second wave of enemies rushed up again. While encouraging everyone to shoot calmly, Zhang Congxiang put on his shuttle and fired at the enemies.
